1984 anti-Sikh riot victims recall their ordeal | Special Report

The Delhi's Patiala House court on Tuesday awarded death penalty to convict Yashpal Singh for killing two men in the 1984 anti-Sikh riots, the first capital punishment in the case. Co-convict Naresh Sherawat was sentenced to life imprisonment. The prosecution demanded death penalty to the two, saying it was the rarest of rare case. But the defence counsel pleaded for leniency. Sherawat and Yashpal Singh were accused of killing Hardev Singh and Avtar Singh in Mahipalpur area of south Delhi during the riots that followed the assassination of then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.
